At Wednesday's meeting, I showed you all the little "Subscribe to my
Newsletter" mini-Flex movie. 
http://www.talentappeal.com
 
For those who weren't there, this is a blog that's on a php-only server.
Rather than learn PHP, I decided to build this in Flex and then have the
Flex movie hit my ColdFusion server. 
 
I was surprised to find that this movie was 264KB. I know Flex does a lot,
but I wished it could be more like 100K. So, I started pulling things out to
see what took up how much space. For those that haven't done this, here's
what I found:
 
- The smallest possible Flex movie is 173KB. Just create an application and
compile it, and this is what you get.
 
- Just adding an <mx:WebService> added 50K.
 
- A Tab Navigator adds about 20K.
 
I know, once the SWF get's cached, it doesn't really matter anymore. I just
thought this was interesting.
